Confirmed by venue or Official dog policy the place told us its dog rules, or we checked its own published policy. Dog friendly per CAMRA (or a tourist board) means a trusted guide lists it as dog friendly; each listing says which.
We check every dog rule at the source: the place's own website, the booking page for each cottage, or trusted guides like CAMRA. Each listing tells you which.
